Fans say they can “walk for miles” in comfortable shoes.
Whoever first said “stars are just like us” didn’t write about celebrity style for a living. As a shopping writer, I always stay on top of A-lister trends, which usually consist of designer clothes that I could only dream of having in my closet. However, when it comes to activewear, especially running shoes, the rich and famous often turn to the same trusted sneakers that are also loved by thousands of shoppers, like the Adidas Ultraboost 21.
Model Hailey Bieber relies on her pair for sweaty gym sessions, but she’s not the only celebrity fan: Hilary Duff, Jessica Alba and Carrie Underwood have all worn the sporty shoe recently, and Olivia Wilde has been spotted in the laces a handful of times in the past month.
Considering the rave features of the sneaker, their popularity is no surprise. Incredibly responsive cushioning and a stiff midsole help runners propel themselves forward. Meanwhile, the breathable mesh liner conforms to the wearer’s foot to create a sock-like fit that limits overpronation. Most importantly, the plush cushioned sole absorbs shock to protect your hips, knees and feet from pain and injury.

Best of all, many reviewers swear these are the “most comfortable” sneakers they’ve tried. “No more knee, foot or back pain,” wrote one fan who spends hours on her feet as a nurse in their Ultraboosts. Another buyer who suffers from knee pain called them “the only running shoe you’ll ever need”, adding that the sole is an “awesome shock absorber”. A third noted that they can walk “18 km (about 11 miles) in one day without foot, knee or lower back pain”.
Running shoes can be pricey, so I highly suggest scoring a pair of these celebrity-loved sneakers ASAP as they’re 50% off for Black Friday.
